Icecream pincushion

Hello dear ones!

I was inspired by pincushions made by Viola. I made it with a crystal cut glass. Of course, I used white ace, since I love it. It looks a bit like an icecream scoop. :)

I'm also working on a clown pincushion for my daughter who asked me for one.

From pearls strung on wire I made a lace like thingie that's going to adorn a glass jar Im going to use for holding cotton balls. I love decorating jars with lace, pearls and all of mine look like this.

My sweet birdie lately fell in love with everything hoop-like and mostly rings. Playing with them she is nice and quiet for hours and patiently waits for me to hand them over. When she starts screeching I tell her she wont get them and she hides her head under her wing and says "Hello Lola Im good." I cant help grabbing her and hugging her silly, then she gets her rings. :)

Well dears, thank you for all your sweet words you leave on here and that you make every day happy! I wish you all a wonderful time!

Wow! How did I miss this post?! Beautiful work, dear friend!! The first one really does look like a scoop of ice cream! The pearls around the jar are lovely. Anything is better with pearls! The other jar covers are beautiful!! I don't know how to knit or crochet and I wish I did! Your bird is so darn cute with the rings! And what she said-boy they are worse than kids manipulating us, huh? Can't you just squeeze them to pieces, though? They are so lovable. The pics are fab!Have a wonderful day!Hugs!
